Truly beautiful, glad I read it. The judge really stuck their neck out. Hope it all comes to fruition and a lot of things are learnt from it.

This is the majority reaction. Computer says no = okay it’s your fault. It’s the equivalent of ‘works on my local’ so get lost you deal with it. Computers may be binary but the people who make them aren’t. This failing of understanding and

It's hard to read text these days so ... If you are being truthful: I am really sorry, I have had sleep apnea it's not pleasant, exacerbated by a thick neck would you believe. Though once I stopped smoking cigarettes it stopped.

I understand your point. Though when email campaigns came out the goal was to send the email to everyone. Then it was to target people. I think that targeted emailing obsession then led to the natural conclusion of targeted adverts on th

This thread made me read this article. I think if I had visited without I wouldn't have got past the first paragraph. Really glad I read it. Strangely joyful.

There is a surprising amount of open data. I think this would be a great hobby. Though maybe use a good VPN and fake creds. People have been murdered for this sort of thing. Source: https://forbiddenstories.org/case/

I wonder what percentage of the 200M are not aware that they have accidentally subscribed to it. I've turned off prime a few times only to log back in and find it has been applied, I don't doubt I clicked something, but I certain

Might start a brand "NetZer0" (see 'Seaspiracy'). Companies can pay me to have the logo so consumers can have a false sense of security and I can buy an island, make it apocalypse safe and live there with friends, famil

I have been learning Italian. Don’t slam me for this if it’s wrong I am a beginner. But there are a number of contexts in Italian to which lei (she) is used. One for polite and respectful use (such as a general in the army, regardless of ge

I assumed this was an April fools. A friend asked if news was too bonkers for April fools to still be held. Guess he was right. Checked the date on the article multiple times.
